Todd tells the story of how he came to share his life with pit bulls. For Todd, it all started 14 years ago at a grocery store:

"I picked him up, put him inside my coat pocket and went into the store. I bought dog food and treats, all the while thinking, 'What am I doing?' I walked through the store thinking this little guy needs me, but I didn’t realize until later how much I needed him as well."

The Peace Book Featured in a "Let's Read. Let's Move: Summer Reading Event" by U.S. Department of Education

Panel reading The Peace Book to school children

At the July 20, 2011 event, U.S. Department of Education Deputy Chief of Staff Eric Waldo joined author and President Obama's sister Maya Soetoro-Ng, along with Corporation for National and Community Service Acting CEO Robert Velasco II, celebrity chef Spike Mendelsohn, and veteran pro-football player Chris Draft to read The Peace Book by Todd Parr to kids from local schools and summer programs.

The "United We Serve: Let’s Read. Let’s Move." initiative was implemented by the Corporation for National and Community Service. By encouraging Americans to serve, the Corporation is addressing summer reading loss and childhood obesity by engaging youth in summer reading and physical activity, as well as providing information about healthy, affordable food. You can find out more and even volunteer to help here.
